Abstract

The narrow cytoplasmic rim of fat cells contains the flattened nucleus (1), some mitochondria (2), flattened cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (3), a Golgi apparatus, and a few tubules of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. A giant fat droplet (4) dominates the cell body. The droplet is separated from the cytoplasm by numerous microfilaments (5), which also stabilize the fatty mass in the cell body; large fat droplets do not possess a limiting membrane of their own.
